Cumin Crusted Lamb With Shallots Crushed New Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Season lamb generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, garlic and anchovy (or pound together in a mortar for a smoother texture). Stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Smear lamb all over with marinade and set aside.
• Meanwhile, boil potatoes until the tip of a paring knife meets no resistance, 10 to 15 minutes depending on size. When potatoes are done, drain, transfer to a roasting pan large enough to hold them in a single layer, and set aside to cool.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. With palms or the back of a wooden spoon, crush potatoes gently to crack open and slightly flatten. Sprinkle with salt, drizzle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil, and turn to lightly coat.
• Lay lamb racks on top of potatoes, with bones curving downward. Scatter rosemary over meat and potatoes. Roast, uncovered, until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), about 20 minutes. (Cook to 135 degrees for medium.)
• Remove lamb to a cutting board and let rest, tented with foil. Return potatoes to oven and leave to roast 10 to 15 minutes more, until nicely crisped.
• Use a large chef's knife to slice the racks by cutting between the bones. (One rack will yield 4 thick chops or 8 thin ones). Transfer chops and potatoes to a warm platter, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the spices with a generous pinch of salt, then coat the lamb in the mix. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan. Sizzle the lamb, fat-side down, for 5 mins. Flip the lamb, then put the shallots, cut-side down, in the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10 mins for pink lamb, or 15 mins for medium. Remove the pan from the oven, then leave to stand for 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes on to boil and simmer until just cooked. Drain, then gently crush with a potato masher. Add the spring onions and lemon zest, season, then keep warm until ready to serve.
• Remove the lamb and shallots from the pan. Stir the capers, mint, lemon juice and a splash of olive oil (if needed) into the lamb juices to make a dressing. Slice the lamb and separate the shallots into layers. Spoon the potatoes onto warm plates, add slices of lamb and some shallots, then spoon over the dressing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in lowest position.
• Toss shallots with 1 1/2 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 13-by 9-inch baking pan, spreading evenly.
• Roast, stirring occasionally, until shallots are golden, about 30 minutes.
• Toss potatoes with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then add to shallots.
• Roast, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and potatoes are crusty, 40 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with 1" cold water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 10-15 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook lamb, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 6-8 minutes; transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet, placing fat side up.
• Mix garlic, parsley, dill, mustard, cumin, and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Spread herb mixture over lamb and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 130°F for medium-rare, 18-22 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let lamb rest 5 minutes before cutting into double chops.
• While lamb is resting, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and watercress and cook, tossing, until watercress is just wilted, about 1 minute. Mix in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Serve lamb with watercress and potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Combine the potatoes with the shallots in a large bowl.
• Add all remaining ingredients; toss to coat evenly.
• Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish and roast for about 30 minutes, mixing about halfway through.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
• Par-boil the potatoes for 3 to 5 minutes and then drain well.
• Place the potatoes into a large bowl with the oil, mustard, salt, pepper, shallots and garlic and mix well.
• Toss the potatoes well so they are all evenly coated with the seasonings, oil and mustard.
• Transfer them to a roasting tray and roast them in the pre-heated oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until the mustard forms a golden crust and the potatoes are crisp and cooked.
• Gently toss them in the tin before serving hot with chicken, sausages, roasts, stews or with burgers and pies.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the aroma of the garlic has mellowed. Add the brown sugar and red wine, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat, cover, and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, season the lamb steaks with salt and pepper to taste. Press the cumin seeds into the steaks on both sides. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks, and cook on both sides until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Remove the steaks to rest in a warm spot. Place the spinach into the hot skillet, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook until the spinach has wilted.
• Mash the potatoes with the sour cream and butter; season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, mound a serving of mashed potatoes onto the center of a dinner plate. Top with the spinach and a lamb steak. Strain the red wine sauce overtop.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and toss. Roast about 15 minutes. Flip potatoes and move them around to the perimeter of the baking sheet. Add Broccolini to center and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and toss. Roast until vegetables are tender, 20 minutes more.
• Season chops on both sides with salt and crushed peppercorns. Heat a large skillet over medium-high; swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add 4 chops and cook until a thermometer registers 130°F, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; repeat with other 4 chops.
• Wipe skillet clean and reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon oil and shallot and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add wine and any leftover juices from plate; bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat and stir in butter and season with salt. Serve lamb with vegetables and sauce.
